TROUBLE IN THE BULLENE GUARDS WHICH BEGAN AT
THE NATIONAL DRILL

TROUBLE IN THE BULLENE GUARDS WHICH BEGAN AT
THE NATIONAL DRILL.
A special to the New York World from Kansas
City, Mo-, June %, says: The trouble in the Bull
lene Guards OF this city, which began at the Ma
tional Drill In Washington, when the Kansas City
boys were refused the privilege of competing be-
cause of the absence OF their Officers will result In
the disbandment OF the crack company OF this CITY,
The Ofncers are exceedingly bitter toward one
another, and the men are angry with the Ofr1cers.
Last night Capt. Kelly was requested by twenty
two OF the men to resign, but Col. Moore of the
regiment, who was present, declared that all sign
ers OF the petition would be dismissed unless they
withdrew their names Three refused, and to-day
were placed under nominal military arrest, and
will be cOurt-martialed. They are Sergt. w. l..
Guthrie, the beSt-drilled man In the company, and
declares that no charges can be preferred against
him, whereas LteutS- ROsenthal and Wager had
been charged with conduct unbecoming Officers
the former having been drunk in Washington and
having spent company money. The matter has
beed referred to the adutant general OF the State
Similar charges are made against Kelly.
BLOOD ON THE FACE OF THE MOON.
A telegram to the New York Herald from Kan
sas City last night says: 'The trouble In the Bull
lene Guards, growing out OF the recent trip TO
Washington to the National Drill, has assumed a
serious aspect and blood Is likely to flow unless
the law prevents 1t. VIM. Buehlert waited on
challenged him TO prove the truth of his aSser-
lions by force OF arms, giving the captain the
choice OF weapons. Capt. Kelly is inclined TO
treat the whole matter as huge joke, and de-
cltnes to have anything to do with Rosenthal.
This, however, does not satisfy the lieutenant
who swears he win post the captain as a cowa I'd
and a liar and proceed to other extremes II some
attention Is not paid TO his challenge"

No DECISION on GENERAL BUFFERS APpEAI--In
the United States Circuit Court In Boston, Wednes-
day, there was q hearing on the motion to set
aside the verdict in the OF the National SOL
dlers' Home against Gen. b. K. Butler, and also
upon an appeal from the costs as taxed By the
claim. The verdict at the trial some months ago
was for the plaintiff FOR about $16 00O and the mo-
ton 10 set aside the verdict Is based upon alleged
want OF jurisdiction by the court. The plaintiff
appeals from the taxation or costs because the
fees for the travel OF one OF the Government wit
nesSes from the Second Controllers once were dis
allowed. and the defendant appeals because the
fees for travel were allowed for the entire distance
at which the witnesses lived from the court, and
not from the State line. Decision was reserved.

telegram from London, June 30 says: Mr.

yesterday, attended by his family. on the Jour-
ney Mr.. Blaine left his card at the foreign Office
and also paused in Arlington street long enough
to send one to Lord salisbury. Ii simply read,
games G. Blaine" After all this formal pleasure
the Blaine family were taken TO Buckingham
Palace, where they were introduced To the
nobility and the Queen, who had come down
from kensington for the occasion, not particu-
larry TO meet Mr.. Blaine, however. The inter-
change OF expressions 1t Is impossible to tell,
though 1t may be said that Mr.. Blaine returned
70 the metropolis In excellent spirits 50 much So
in fact that he declined TO receive the reporters of
the daily papers who had been detailed TO inter
view him with regard to the differences between
himself and Mr.. Phelps. The only one OF the ac-
cepted callers In the morning was Ethan Allen, OF
New York. Singular to say Justin Mccarthy called
while Mr. Blaine was in and was told that he was
out.
1t is now a matter OF club gossip that Mr.
Blaine met MIR. Gladstone late last Thursday night
and that the great English democrat was fnstru-
mental in bringing about the strange meetings,
the independent expedition OF Mr.. Blaine through
Downing street and among the fashionable
terraces and the subsequent attriton with royalty
Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. Gladstone have met thrice and
fingered together all hour on each occasion.
